known as the kremer DOCK. The city

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE On Thursday
night, about l. o'clock, John j. Fish
er'S carriage shops at Rockville, one
mile west OF Rebersburg took fire and
were totally destroyed, along with all
the contents. Several finished sleighs,
bugsieS, and carriages, a large amount
of half-done work, several sets Of the
finest and most expensive tools in fact
everything to be found In suoh a shop,
was burned. The Gre soon communi-
Gated to Mr.. Flshar's dwelling house
which stood qui,e close to the Shopa
and that building as well rs all the fur.
nlture in it was also laid in ashes in a
very short time. All efforts to stop
the work Of the Aames proved futile the
heat being too intense to permit the
near approach of the bucket brigade.
We understand that Mr.. Fisher and
family barely escaped with their lives,
some of the children being even very
scantily dressed. 1t is said the neigh
bors had their hands full in saving
their adjoining homes and they say
that but for the snow on the houseroofs
it would have been impossible TO check
the conhagration. Most of the loss is
covered by insurance.
